Parametric optimization of the slot waveguide characteristics using a machine-learning approach
摘要
Slot waveguides provide high electric field amplitude and optical power in low-index materials that are not possible with conventional waveguides. This specific property of the slot waveguide provides interaction between active material and electric field, which led to many interesting applications, such as optical amplification, optical switching, and optical detection in integrated photonics. In the present work, we combine machine learning (ML) algorithms and finite element simulation to predict the power confinement (
